Dont wait.... seriously....
Fill your container with water, put in a heater & power head-turn them on, wait 12-24 hrs. The water is salt ready. Put in salt until its 95% disolved and the salinity is right.... get it in your system asap.... cloudy is fine....


You DONT want what you added settling out. You want that in the f’ing tank!!

All the minerals and elements need to rebalance the existing old water.... not settle out.

I used to mix and wait a day - counter productive, my mixing container had formed a white resudue on the side.... all that was supposed to be in my tank but i didnt know what i was doing....

No easy answer. I run off of redundancy. Meaning I always have a full WC churning away in my barrel, because when you need to pull off an emergency WC....you really need properly mixed water.
